Namecheap Takes Down Polyfill.io Service Following Supply Chain Attack
Polyfill.io has been serving malware for months via its CDN, after the project's open source maintainer sold the service to a company based in China.

Package description
The @babel/plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator package is a plugin for Babel, a JavaScript compiler, that allows developers to use the exponentiation operator (**) in their JavaScript code. This operator is used to raise the first operand to the power of the second operand. The plugin transforms this syntax into a format that is compatible with environments that do not support the exponentiation operator natively.
Exponentiation Operator Transformation
This feature allows developers to write code using the exponentiation operator (**) for performing exponentiation operations. The plugin then transforms this syntax into a call to Math.pow, ensuring compatibility with older JavaScript environments.
"use strict";\n\nvar _Mathpow = Math.pow;\n\nvar a = 2;\nvar b = 3;\nvar c = _Mathpow(a, b); // Transforms a ** b into Math.pow(a, b)
Similar to @babel/plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator, this package transforms modern JavaScript syntax (arrow functions in this case) into a form that is compatible with older JavaScript environments. While it focuses on arrow functions instead of the exponentiation operator, the goal of ensuring code compatibility across different environments is shared.
This package transforms template literals into a string concatenation format, ensuring compatibility with environments that do not support template literals. Like @babel/plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator, it aims to make modern JavaScript syntax accessible in older environments, though it focuses on template literals instead of exponentiation.
